Image Example
Description	Inject hyaluronic acid into the chin area to increase volume and reshape contours	Uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy subcutaneous fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated	Special threads inserted beneath the skin stimulate collagen production and lift sagging facial tissues	Utilizes high-frequency radio waves to generate heat that dissolves subcutaneous fat	Uses suction via negative pressure to remove excess fat beneath the skin
Advantages	1. Simple procedure 2. Immediate visible results	1. Non-invasive 2. Minimal downtime	1. Short recovery period (2–3 weeks) 2. Natural-looking results	1. Quick and convenient (30–60 minutes) 2. Effective fat reduction	1. Small incisions 2. Broad applicability
